Dynamic Spectrum Access

The majority of spectrum is underutilized in most places most of the time. Adaptrum believes this is a missed opportunity. Spectrum licenses were originally created as a means of preventing interference before alternative technologies existed to allow frequencies to be shared. Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) radio communication technologies allow wireless devices to make use of spectrum that is assigned (licensed) but not in use by licensees, to ensure consumers and devices have wireless bandwidth when and where they need it.

Adaptrum was an early pioneer in the theory and implementation of radio technologies that make emerging dynamic spectrum access policies possible. Adaptrum dynamic spectrum access solutions help unlock licensed bands without interference, allowing for sharing available spectrum in a more coordinated way.

DSA technology offers several benefits:

• Maximizes spectral efficiency
• Minimizes barriers to market entry
• Helps networks and markets scale to inexpensively deliver the services
• Maximizes wireless innovation (technological & business)
• Opens up vast amounts of clean spectrum at no cost
